Route 66 Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Center

Route 66 Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Center Route 66 Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Center is a family owned Vet ER in Nob Hill. Finally, a Emergency Veterinary Hospital for SE Albuquerque!
(159)

Route 66 was once the gateway to the western United States. Developed as part of the early national highway system the roadway first provided hope and inspiration as the pathway west for families looking for new oppurtunities during the times of the Dust Bowl and World War II. It soon became the path for adventure seekers looking west in the 1950s and 1960s. Invoking a sense of promise and adventu

re Rt. 66 became intertwined with the growth and development of the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is this same promise of opportunity and adventure that has led to the creation of the Route 66 Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Center. Recognizing the desperate need for high quality emergency veterinary care in southeast Albuquerque and desiring to operate our own hospital, Route 66 Veterinary Emergency Critical Care center has been founded by Dr. Jeremy Welcome and Rowan McGehee-Welcome. Located along historic Route 66 in the rapidly growing Nob Hill neighborhood we will create the premier veterinary trauma center in Albuquerque. With a focus on compassionate care and exceptional client service while practicing the highest quality of medicine we will initially provide after hours and critical patient care for the pets of southeast Albuquerque and beyond. Through our mission to create positive change in people’s lives we will integrate ourselves into the Nob Hill community, continually striving to serve in new and expansive ways.

It's been a busy few weeks getting ready for 24/7 but we never want to miss the chance to celebrate and thank the people we love!
Angelina has been with the RT 66 team for 6 years and has been the most amazing coworker and the heart in our CSR team. We say goodbye to her as she and her family move on to the next chapter in their lives. NM will be a little less bright without her but the RT 66 team are so happy to have a lifetime friend, no matter where she is!
Thank you Angelina for everything you have done for the hospital and the team. We love you and we will miss seeing your smiling face at the hospital, we can't wait till you come back to visit!

Can you believe it's August?! We have some very special EmPAWees this month πŸ’œ Penny and Zazzles are the crazy kiddos of our medical director.
Penny was the very first Rt 66 surrender. She survived parvo virus thanks to the team + a whole lotta attitude and found a home in the hearts of us all.
Zazzles is the newest addition and is learning what it is to have a big sister like Penny, she loves the whole family so far!
